Ford did make heavy duty towing springs for the Scorp saloon, but they're no longer available. I have tried to get a pair, but it would seem they are like rocking horse poop ::)

You could fit estate springs, as they are a bit stiffer, or try a pair of spring assisters :)

Jimmy Jaffa.
My stretched funeral cars all have uprated springs front and rear.Coleman Milne at Westhoughton,Bolton get them specially made but they aint cheap ! If you approach them they call the Scorpio a Mk9 limo.The other alternative is to get a Monroe load leveller kit(LA355)it comes with two air assisted shockers,piping,valve and gauge,just bolt em on in place of your shockers,about £180,but much easier than messing about with springs,gauge and valve go in boot.
